Hi
I realy don't understand why NinJa does't support IB forex !!
Why ? What is the real reason (NinJa is paid by "Gain" ... ?)
IB is one of the major player ... and growth everyday
We work (for a lot "potential" customer for ninja) on ATS
Basis > Tradestation <> NinjaTrade <> IB
NinJa, please think a litle in the future ...
Nobody else find usefull the use of NinJa with IB forex ???
Kind regards

Hello VincentD:
Thank you for taking the time to post this message.
We will add your suggestion for adding IB Forex to our list of possible future enhancements to the NT application.
If you wish to trade FX live, this is free of charge through our FX partner GAIN Capital/Forex.com
Best regards,

Hi Ryan
Thank’s for your rapid answer !
We know the possibility to trade Forex with the broker « gain capital » but ...
1 new broker = 1 new problem source ...
We work with IB since 6 years and the stability is ok, we don’t want to make new experience with a
new broker (at this time). It is already a lot of work to stabilize TS <> NinJa <> IB
This is (I thing so) not the solution to have for every instrument that you trade another broker ...
What we realy don’t understand is :
To place one IB order e.g YM =
placeorder(orderID, "SELL", 1, "YM", "FUT", "200409", 0, "", "ECBOT", "", "MKT", 0, 0,"", "", "", "", "", "")
And to place IB order e.g. for USD.CAD =
placeOrder(orderID, "SELL", 100000, "USD.CAD", "CASH", "IDEALPRO", "IDEALPRO", "CAD", "MKT", 0, 0, "", "", "", "", "", "")
Where is the problem here to work with Idealpro ? ?
Best regards
Vincent

NinjaTrader does not support IB FX at this time and thus you can not route orders to IdealPro.
